Windows 10: How to delete microsoft.net folder

Is this possible? I've been having problems with NET Framework, uninstalled it, and when I tried to reinstall it, got this message: "The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable.Error Code - 0x80070570

I tried sfc scan which found problems it couldn't solve no matter how often I ran it, in safe mode and regular mode.

I tried DISM, which completed but still left the problem unsolved.

I tried downloading Net framework from a Windows ISO disk using DISM and that didn't work.

I tried a system restore and that didn't work.

I tried a refresh, and that didn't work.

I haven't tried reset yet, but I'm guessing that the result will be the same.

I also tried the NetFramework repair tool and that didn't work.

I tried to delete the file manually, and I wasn't "allowed."

I tried the netframework clean up tool that was supposed to completely get rid of NET framework files as a last resort, and I still have the file in there.

In short, unless I can somehow get rid of that file completely, I think I may have to do a complete clean install of windows, which I'd rather not do? Any ideas.

Trouble deleting a folder

Thanks for the suggestion but it says "delete folder failed for E:\....." for each folder I try.

*Confused

Will I be forever stuck with these unnecessary folders? *Oh Well hwell:

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.

Try the following steps:

• Press Windows + R keys to open Run command.
• Type Appwiz.cpl and select "turn Windows feature on or off" from the left
• Uncheck .Net framework 3.5 and .Net framework 4.6 advance series.
• Restart the computer
• Repeat step 1 and 2 and check .Net framework 3.5 and .Net framework 4.6 advance series.
• Restart the computer.
